because it is racist it doesnt matter whether or not you personally find the term racist it is still a racist term i have a friend irl who has no qualms whatsoever with being called a nigger he knows its his mates calling him that name and we all use the term admittedly in very closed circles as nothing but a jibe and a jest doesnt mean that nigger isnt a racist term admittedly this is less harsh but its the exact same principals
